In tenth grade in high school Java programming came up in IT class. Unfortunately, our teacher didn't have much of a clue herself... However, programming was something I'd been wanting to learn for a long time, so I downloaded all the example source code from the school system, borrowed a couple of books from our local library and dug in. Using that, I taught myself Java over the next year, then moved on to other languages.
